Minimizing HOPE Rejections: What Submission Data Reveals About Common Errors

You’re not alone — what submission data reveals about common errors 

HOPE rejections are frustrating and far more common than most providers realize. 

Many rejections are not the result of poor clinical work or staff error, but changing CMS validation rules, system checks and inconsistent data elements that trip up even the most experienced teams. 

In this webinar, we will walk through real submission data to show what is driving your HOPE assessment rejections, where providers most often run into trouble and which issues are truly within your control. We will also call out CMS-side challenges that are contributing to rejections and share what is being done to address them. 

You will leave with practical guidance you can apply immediately, from understanding common error patterns to improving workflows that reduce the number of reworks, resubmissions and delays.
